Too often, we only think about Jewish lifecycle events when they arrive at our doorstep. Behind the Lifecycle is a new series designed to take a step back and explore these moments before we encounter them in real time. Each session will focus on a different stage of life, weaving together traditional sources, contemporary practice, and practical guidance to help us make thoughtful, informed choices.
Our first session turns to one of the most difficult and meaningful topics: death and dying. Together, we’ll learn about Jewish burial and cemetery traditions, uncovering how our rituals work, what values they express, and what options exist for us today. Come with your questions, your curiosity, and a willingness to explore what lies behind this essential part of Jewish life.

The Synagogue is proud to partner with the Jewish Federation of Tulsa to host a meaningful and thought-provoking conversation with Rabbi Kaiman. Together, we’ll explore the themes of Yom Kippur through the lens of responsibility, conscience, and community.
How do we navigate the tension between collective responsibility and individual conscience? How do we remain part of a group when we don’t agree with everything it does? And what does it mean to show up, even when it’s complicated?
This program, part of the Young Jewish Professionals (YJP) series for ages 21–40, offers a welcoming space to wrestle with these questions and deepen your understanding of Jewish tradition.
Join the club and embark on a flavorful, family adventure. Participants will meet after ShulSchool for lunch, schmoozing, and a hands-on kitchen session.

Each family will leave with their dish in hand, along with a recipe and instructions to recreate the experience at home. Please indicate your attendance through the registration link.

Directed by Nir Bergman, Here We Are focuses on Aharon and his relationship with his family. Uri, his primary concern, is an autistic young man in his early 20s. Aharon devotes himself to the full time care of Uri in their home in Tivon in northern Israel. Uri’s mother, Tamara, lives apart but often visits. Tamara and social services think the best future for Uri is in a special residential community for those with autism. The prospect frightens Uri and when the time comes for Uri to move to the residential facility, Uri becomes distressed and Aharon decides to takes Uri away in an attempt to evade social services. After days avoiding the authorities, Aharon comes to terms with the inevitable move.

Why has laughter played such a central role in Jewish life, literature, and culture? Writer, editor, translator and all-around wise guy, Boris Dralyuk, will lead us on a historical overview of Jewish wit as a response to diaspora, persecution, assimilation, and resilience—tracing its roots in Eastern and Central Europe and its transformation in the American context. From the melancholic ironies of Sholem Aleichem and Kafka to the neurotic brilliance of Philip Roth and Gary Shteyngart; from the zany wordplay of S.J. Perelman and the Marx Brothers to the existential absurdities of Woody Allen and Andy Kaufman; from the bawdy stage presence of Fanny Brice and Sophie Tucker to the razor-sharp provocations of Joan Rivers and Sarah Silverman—this seminar will explore how Jewish humor has both reflected and refracted the anxieties, aspirations, and identities of modern Jewish life. Join us for a journey through laughter that’s as much about survival as it is about punchlines.
